What to expect from an EICR in Kensal Green
An EICR tests the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and lights, and codes anything that falls short as C1, C2, C3 or FI. Here's what the local housing means for yours.
In the Kensal Green census neighbourhood, only 14% of homes are in purpose-built blocks, against 40% across London. The housing is old: council tax records date 82% of homes to before 1919, and another 13% to between the wars. Original wiring from before 1939 is long past its expected life. Most homes here will have been rewired at least once, often room by room. That leaves joins between circuits of different ages, and sometimes earthing or bonding that a partial rewire never touched. The EICR tests the installation as it stands and codes each shortfall by risk.
Converted houses are the standout. 39% of homes are flats in converted houses, more than three times London's 11%, and terraced houses make up 33%. A house split into flats usually has a meter and consumer unit for each flat, plus a separate landlord supply for the hall lights and door entry. After years of alterations, a circuit can end up fed from the wrong board, such as a hall light wired from one of the flats. The electrician looks for this, because a circuit that crosses supplies is hard to isolate safely.
The listed building count needs reading with care. There are 112 within 300 m of Kensal Green station, including The Anglican Chapel (grade I) and The Northern Colonnade (grade II). Many of the entries are monuments rather than homes. A high count nearby does not mean your own home is listed. Check its status before any remedial work. Work that alters historic fabric in a listed building can need consent, even though the EICR itself does not.

Licensing and landlord rules in Brent
From Brent Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Brent licenses shared homes across the borough (2 February 2026 to 2 February 2031) and single-household lets in every ward except Wembley Park.
On the Brent side of Kensal Green, addresses are mostly in Queens Park and Harlesden & Kensal Green wards, both inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence. Part of the area is in Hammersmith and Fulham: for College Park & Old Oak ward, Hammersmith and Fulham's scheme is drawn street by street or on old ward lines, so check the address with the council. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Brent's HMO licence conditions require a current electrical report (within the last 5 years) within 28 days of a request.
Wherever you let in England, the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations require an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. Give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Any remedial work or further investigation the report requires must be done within 28 days, or sooner if it says so, and written confirmation that it's finished goes to the tenant and the council within 28 days of completion.

Questions about EICRs in Kensal Green
How much does an EICR cost in Kensal Green?
From £142.80 including VAT for a studio flat to £250.80 for a house with 5 or more bedrooms. The price is fixed when you book, there's no call-out fee, and you pay when your report is ready.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Brent?
Almost certainly, unless the home is in Wembley Park ward. Selective licensing covers every other Brent ward, and shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in the borough.
My Kensal Green house was built before 1919 and has never had a full rewire. Will it fail its EICR?
Not because of the house's age. An EICR judges the condition of the installation against the current standard, not the date the house was built. The report is unsatisfactory only if it records a C1, C2 or FI item. A house that has never had a full rewire has usually had parts replaced over the years, and each part is judged as it stands. Sound circuits with adequate earthing and protection can pass, perhaps with C3 recommendations.
How soon can you visit Kensal Green?
Online booking shows days up to 2 weeks ahead. Standard arrival windows are 9am to 12pm or 12pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday; after 4pm and weekends are on request and may carry an additional charge. Pick the day that suits you or your tenant and we'll confirm the time. If you're up against a tenancy deadline, call 0203 811 8331.
Will you test a garage, shed or garden room?
Yes, if it's supplied from the house's electrics. Tell us about it when you book so we allow the time, and it's included in the report with the rest of the installation.
